PostCSS is a versatile tool that transforms CSS using JavaScript plugins, enabling a wide range of functionalities such as linting, supporting variables and mixins, transpiling future CSS syntax, and inlining images. It serves as a framework for developing CSS tools and can be utilized to create template languages similar to Sass and LESS. The core of PostCSS comprises a CSS parser that generates an abstract syntax tree, a set of classes that form the tree, a CSS generator that produces a CSS line for the object tree, and a code map generator for CSS changes. Plugins operate on the object tree, analyzing and modifying it before PostCSS generates a new CSS string reflecting these changes. Notable plugins include Autoprefixer, which adds vendor prefixes, and Stylelint, a modern CSS linter that enforces consistent conventions and avoids errors in stylesheets. PostCSS is employed by industry leaders such as Wikipedia, Twitter, Alibaba, and JetBrains.
